BY REQUEST.

To the Officers and Patrons Of the Pub
Gc Primary Schools Of jefferson County
The teachers in the public schools Of
Jefferson county, in the hope Of in
creasing the efficiency of the work in
the same, have, after mature delibera-
ton and careful consider alton, adopted
schedule of grades for the primary
schools. This scheme is not adopted as
an experiment, or novelty, but it has
| been tried elsewhere and found to be
effective and is introduced into this
county, because few of the teachers
have already tried it and assure the 9TH
ers that il can not fail TO prove bless
ing and a benefit to both teachers and
pupils.
The schedule of studies and grades
will be printed and copy placed into
the hands of every teacher and school
officer and it is hoped that they will
give it full and fair trial.
The teachers have been working
heretofore without any definite object
in view and pupils have been made to go
over the same studies and same parts
of the book, year after year, but by the
use of this schedule they will be able
to do certain amount of work each
wear and have definite object in view,
the passing from grade to grade and
finally to graduation, alter the COM
pletion of the prescribed course. BY
this means a more regular attendance
will be secured, healthy spirit of EMU
lation engendered among tile pupils oil
the same school and spirit of.generous
rivalry among the several schools OF this
county, AS to which car do the best
work and succeed best in the work.
Then, when teacher changes his
school, he will know exactly where 10
begin the work of the new school ana
will not have TO waste time In organlz'
ing and classifying the school. The
catalogue kept by the former teacher
shows exactly where he is to begin and
who compose his classes.
The Teachers of this Institute, there
fore, beg that all the school officers,
patrons and teachers of the schools oil
this county will give this plan a fair
trial and that the Press of the county
will lend its aid in this good work, en-
dorsed and approved by the unanimous
vote of the Institute.
We most fully and cordially recon-
mend the schedule to all who desire the
fullest success of our public schools and
the best results from the work OF the
same.

a EIy ItPIn.-l hay

a Fly Item.-I have only known of
ons instance where badness proved re-
munerating. a friend of mine who had
shining pate fell into the habit Of
watching his tOrmentors-the flies. He
noticed that fly always walked upward,
and he goes toward the top. He can't
be made to walk downward. So my
friend hit upon an idea. Why not use
that habit against them? Forthwith he
made window screen divided in half.
The upper halt Tapped over the lower,
with an inch of space between. Well,
as soon rs the fly would light on the
screen it would procedc TO travel
upwards, and would thus walk straight
out door. On reaching the top OF the
lower half lie would be outside. Not
being able to walk down he had no way
to return to the room. By this means
room can be quickly cleared of flies

=. xy.el.,. wcnther.-Tbe week

that has passed since the last issue oil
the REGISTER will long be remembered
for the intense heat anG violent thunder
storms. Friday, Saturday and Sunday
the thermometer ranged near and above
100 degrees, and on Monday reached
the highest notch, when it registered
104 in the shade. Of course the suffer-
ing was great, the heat being especially
severe on infants, a large number OF
whom are sick in this town and vicinity.
fortunately there are no deaths to re-
cord, although colored woman, Mar
tina Seibert, was overcome by the heat
on Monday. She has since recovered.
In the larger cities many persons died
from sunstroke, and the mortality
among babies was terrible. In Balti-
more the weather was the hottest for
fifty years, and in New York, Philadel-
phia and the western cities the heat
was almost unprecedented.
One of the results of the great heat
was the engendering of very violent
thunder storms. Shepherdstown was
visited by light one on Saturday, and
on Sunday no less than four passed
around to the South Of the town, being
very severe in the other end of the
county. Monday afternoon there was
an electrical storm that was character
lied by unusually vivid lightning and
very sharp thunder, though little rain
fell. Shortly after midnight another
heavy cloud arose, and for nearly half
hour rain fell in torrents. The streets
and pavements of the town were flooded,
the cutters being unable to carry off the
water. The electric display was eX-
ceedingly brilliant, aud a number Of
trees in the neighborhood were struck.
Baltimore was visited Monday after
noon by a dreadful storm. Houses by
the score were unroofed, and thousands
of shade trees blown down, some of the
parks being almost completely ruined.
At Emory Grove camp-ground tree
was blown down upon tent, instantly
killing young lady, and seriously in
juring her sister. Reports from many
other places tell of great damage done.

At Parkersburg Il few days ago col
ored boy named Lee amused himself by
sitting on an old liquor barrel and polk
ing lighted matches into the vent hole
After some time the gas insiGe became
igniled from the bottom, and blew boy
and barrel skyward into a large tree.
The boy sustained terrible injuries to
his back and hips, and may not recover.
The explosion was heard for squares.
A second incendiary fire ut Grafton
last Thursday night totally destroyed
the blacksmith shops of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. The fire was dis
covered about two o'clock right in the
midst of several lumber yards. Only
the hardest work prevented serious
conflagration. The people are thor
oughly alarmed, rs that was the second
fire in a week. \ certain man is sus-
pected.
The heaviest thunder storm ever cX-
perienced at Grafton occurred last sum
day, during which the residence OF Mr..
All. Carr was struck by lightning, and
Mrs. Carr, who was sitting in room
with her three children, was instantly
killed. The children were burned by
the electric bolt, but not seriously in
iured. The residence of Mr.. George
Deck was also struck and large hole
torn in one side.
